Well, I got my answer. Local news reports that the Minneapolis city attorney, apparently without elaboration, denies that the timing of the settlement has had a negative impact on jury selection. Despite the fact two previously seated jurors had to be excused because of their reactions to the settlement, and multiple other prospective jurors have been struck for the same reason. I guess that resolves that issue. I was wrong to have doubted the wisdom of announcing the record civil settlement in the middle of jury selection.
